2004 Season Outlook /** coking down the University of Memphis I men's soccer roster, the obvious is easy *• • * to point out. The 2004 squad is young.

Fourteen freshmen compose 56 percent of the 25 player lineup.

"As you're building a program, it just takes time," said men's head coach Richie Grant. "It takes a few years to get the program exactly where you want it to go. We're very excited about the size and the quantity of the incoming class we have."

But don't think this year is a rebuilding year.

Eight of the nine returning players make up last year's starting 11 led by all-Conference-USA second team selections Andy Metcalf and Dayton O'Brien.

Behind the experienced leadership that includes four seniors and the unlimited resource of youthful talent, the Tigers look to improve on last year's 8-8-2 record.

"We're very focused on the contributions of the returning players," Grant said. "The commitments they made last spring are what we believe will be the founj .__ —_,_ dation of the team this ' year. While we're

Andy Metcalf Forward

young, we return a lot of players that have made significant contributions in the last few years."

In 2003, Memphis finished 1-6-2 in C-USA action, ending in ninth place for the secondstraight year and being left out of the six-team conference tournament, a tournament hosted by the Tigers. The last time Memphis made the tournament came in 2000 when the team finished fourth with a 5-3 conference record.

However, results can be different in 2004.

This year's team has the potential and is determined to make a large splash early on as it begins preseason play on August 24 against cross-town Christian Brothers University.

"We have a very simple ap^^jpv^jt proach to the season," Grant said. "As a coach, it's a cliche, but we take it one game at a time. Our goal in the beginning of the season is to make the conference tournament."

Coaches Richie /Grant heads into his sixth season as the head coach for the Tigers after leading Lambuth University for four years. In his nine seasons, Grant has compiled a record of 102-767 (.570), picking up his 100"' career win last season. The 34-yearold Ireland native has helped the Tigers eclipse the 10-win mark twice and has led the team to a record of .500 or better in three of the last four seasons. He enters the 2004 season with a 45-41-5 record (.522) at Memphis.

Aiding Grant on the sidelines, Robert Nicholson enters his second year as an assistant coach with Memphis. The Scotland native joined the Tigers after two years at Christian Brothers University where he assisted both the men's and women's teams. He had an important hand in leading the CBU women's squad to a Division II National Championship in 2002.

"Robbie (Nicholson) is a key component to what we are trying to do with our program," Grant said. "I expect that you will see the influence that Robby had in the spring on our team this fall."

The Tigers added a second assistant coach this year bringing in former U of M star Carl Schmitt. He joins the coaching staff after playing three years with the Milwaukee Wave of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). The Germantown, Tenn., native played his senior year in 1999 for Grant after transferring from South

Alabama where he helped lead the Jaguars to the 1998 Big South Conference title.

"Carl (Schmitt) brings energy and passion," Grant said. "I think it's great for our players to see firsthand what it's like to make the transition to the pros. We're hopeful a lot of our players advance from college to the level beyond, and Carl will help them in making the transition."

Four seniors lead the team into the 2004 season. Midfielder/defender Daniel Dobson serves as the team captain and joins two other three-year letterwinners in midfielder John Reilly and defender Justin Dyer as well as last year's starting goalie Sebastian Vecchio.

"I think this is the best senior class in terms of their commitment to be successful this year," Grant said. "This is a group of players that have been frustrated with not accomplishing our goals the last few years. Our senior players will need to have strong performances, and they will need to be leaders of our team throughout the season."

\

Forwards The forward position will be led by junior Andy Metcalf followed by a talented group of freshmen.

"We've always had very good attacking players at Memphis, and this season is no different," Grant said. "We have tremendous options."

The Tigers will look for Metcalf to be a goal scorer on the team. The Jackson, Tenn., native had a breakout year in 2003. One of only two players to start all 18 games, Metcalf led the team with 10 goals and 24 points. He earned All-Midwest Region second team and All-C-USA second team honors last year as well as being named an academic All-American. "(Metcalf) is the most natural finisher that we have," Grant said. "For us to be successful, we will rely on him scoring goals.

"After the tremendous year he had last year, he will be heavily marked. He'll probably get closer attention from the opposition this year than he did last year. He's had a season of PDL (Premier Development League) that's prepared him.

Andy continues to develop on a daily basis, and I think he's ready for the challenge."

Freshmen newcomers Marcus McCarty, Tyler Camp and Brett Schreiber, who Grant said is a fiery center forward in the mold of former U of M star Tommy White, will also compete for playing time in the forward position.

Midfielders Juniors Dayton O'Brien and Cormac McArdle and seniors Daniel Dobson and John Reilly lead a talented crop of midfielders.

"Our midfield is very attack-minded and very strong," Grant said. "We have plenty of options on the left side."

2004 Media Guide

O'Brien followed up his All-C-USAfreshman campaign with a strong performance in 2003, capturing all-conference second team and All-Midwest Region third-team honors. The junior joined Metcalf as the only two players to start all 18 games. He ended the year second on the team with nine goals and 23 points and led the team with five assists. O'Brien also led the team with a .237 shot percentage.

Coming off an excellent spring, McArdle should lead the Tigers' attack. A prolific scorer, McArdle transfered to Memphis from NAIA's Thomas University (Ga.). He was named Thomas University's Offensive MVP after scoring 52 points on 21 goals and 10 assists as a sophomore in 2003 and earning honorable mention All-American honors.

Reilly struggled last season after scoring eight goals and making 20 points as a sophomore in 2002.

His reemergence will be key for the Tigers in 2004.

Dobson produced career highs last year with a pair of goals and added four assists for a total of eight points. Memphis will have a unique formation this year and will use the team captain as a holding player. Grant will use Dobson to play in the center of the field and distribute the ball in both directions. "(Dobson) will have to have a strong season on both sides of the ball; attacking and defending," Grant said.

This is also an important season for Harrison Riser and Brad Whitsitt after strong freshmen seasons. Kiser started 17 games and appeared in all 18 matches. He scored a goal and made two assists.

Whitsitt appeared in 15 games in 2003, stalling three of them. He scored two goals and added three assists for seven points. The coaches believe Whitsitt has gotten stronger over the spring.

Junior transfer Stephen Cooling, Dublin City University (Ireland), and freshmen Adam Montgomery, Aaron Volanski, Adam Raborn, Jared Touchstone and Bradley Phillips will also compete for playing time in the midfield position.

Grant said Montgomery is the best new player this year from the state of Tennessee.

"While we're young, we return a lot of players that have made significant contributions in the last few years."

Richie Grant Memphis head coach A freshmen trio of Mark Gourlay, Afif Najjar and Jared Britcher will also compete for playing time.

Goalkeepers Senior starting goalkeeper Sebastian Vecchio returns after transferring from Mid-Continent College (Ky.) last year and stepping into the starting role early in the season. Vecchio started 13 games for the Tigers, capturing 37 saves, a .649 percentage and averaging 1.42 goals per game. Memphis went 6-62 in games he controlled the 18-yard box.

"Sebas (Vecchio) has improved all the time in our program," Grant said. "He was in a difficult situation in transferring in last year and being exposed immediately to conference competition.

He enters the season as our No. 1 goalie."

Freshmen giants Trey Meyer, 6'4", and Tyler Strom, 6'5", will also compete for playing time.

"The lads have been brought in to compete with Sebastian and ultimately replace him as he is in his senior year," Grant said.

Schedule The Tigers will play nine non-conference games and two preseason games in 2004. The

schedule includes four games against Missouri Valley Conference teams Western Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Eastern Illinois and Evansville.

"We've always used the non-conference games as preparation games for our conference matches," Grant said. "In our last few years, we've had very successful results in our non-conference games."

In Grant's five years at Memphis, the Tigers have gone 31-13-2 (.696) in non-conference games.

Memphis will once again host the Diadora Tournament in September with Centenary, Oral Roberts and Western Kentucky participating. The Tigers also play in the Vanderbilt Puma Classic in September against the host school and Eastern Illinois.

With the realignment of C-USAin 2005, this will be the last year Memphis will play the current group of conference teams. Everybody will be fighting hard for one of six spots in the conference tournament in Louisville on November 11-14.

"I think people will be very eager to do well this year," Grant said. "There's some great history between the teams in terms of competition. I think that's what makes the conference tournament in Louisville special. It's going to be very competitive to make it to that conference tournament."

Defenders Senior Justin Dyer and j u n i o r Gary Connolly head an inexperienced group of defenders into the season, but both will have the opportunity to shine.

"Gary Connolly and Justin Dyer have the potential to be two of the best defenders in the league," Grant said. "They need to have strong seasons and use their experience.

"Our defense is an area that we've had to strengthen. We've had to focus on it in our spring training, and we've had to recruit players that can step in immediately."

The Tigers will miss last year's senior team captain, Graham Gibbs, but Grant said he believes the addition of freshman Michael Coburn, a strong, physical defender, will help lessen the loss.

Richie Grant COACHING BACKGROUND

At Memphis (45-41-5) Career Record (102-76-7) Sixth Season 10th Overall fT""^ ntering his sixth year at I m j the helm of the Univerm sity of Memphis men's JLt*»*J soccer program, Richie Grant has begun to build a reputation as one of the finest coaches in the nation. Grant has shown an uncanny ability to recruit a steady flow of talent from the southern region of the United States, while bringing in solid players from Europe to form competitive teams.

This year the 34-year-old Dublin, Ireland native focused on building a stronger defensive corps and adding depth to the offensive attack. Since Grant's arrival in 1999, the Tigers' offense has strengthened, twice finishing the season ranked nationally in scoring and setting school records for goals, assists and points in 2000. Grant has posted 45 wins in his five years at Memphis and captured his 100th career coaching victory last season. Grant has a record of 102-76-7 (.570) in his nine seasons as a head coach.

Grant has also grown accustomed to winning and expects nothing less at Memphis. Under his leadership, the Tigers have eclipsed the 10-win mark twice and have finished

with a record of .500 or better in three of the last four seasons, including notching an 8-8-2 mark in 2003. After posting a 7-11 record in his first year, Grant's Tigers put up a 14-6 record in 2000, doubling their win total from the previous season and helping Grant become the first Tiger coach to earn Conference USA Coach of the Year honors.

In 2000, Grant led Memphis to its third-best record in school history as the Tigers advanced to the semifinals of the C-USA Championship Tournament. The squad spent the vast majority of the season ranked in the NSCAA Midwest Region poll and finished the year rated fifth.

The Tigers struggled throughout the majority of the 2001 season due to frequent and untimely injuries, along with a loss of key personnel. However, under Grant's guidance and leadership, the U of M managed to place four players on allconference teams.

In 2002, Grant took a group of unseasoned talent into a tough schedule and led Memphis to its 13th 10win season, including guiding the squad to an undefeated non-conference schedule. Three Tiger freshmen

were named to the C-USA All-Freshman team, while one player received second-team honors.

The 2003 slate proved to be much of the same as Grant relied on underclassmen to compete in a talent-rich C-USA schedule. With just three seniors on the squad, he guided the team to another .500 or better season. Grant's guidance reaped a host of postseason accolades with a trio of Tigers receiving all-conference honors.

As a player, Grant was a threetime NAIA All-American defender and was twice named the NAIA District V Player of the Year at Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vt., where he received his bachelor's degree in leisure resources and facilities management in 1993.

Grant then went on to play for the Minnesota Thunder, a semi-pro team that competes in the A-league.

Grant hung up his boots after one season with the Thunder and took a coaching position at Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania. There he earned his master's degree in communication studies while

working as an assistant coach from 1993-95. Grant then took his first head coaching job at Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn., in 1995.

In four seasons at Lambuth (1995 99), Grant compiled a 53-29-2 record and won back-to-back Mid-South Conference Championships in the 1997 and 1998 seasons. In his final season at Lambuth, Grant led the Eagles to the NAIA Region XI Championships.

Grant earned his National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Advanced National Diploma in 1997 and then earned his NSCAA Premier Diploma in 2002.

The season also stands as the second-consecutive season, and the third in four years, Memphis finished with a .500 or better record under head coach Richie Grant.

"I think our non-conference record in the last few years has been positive and shows we are playing a good competitive schedule," Grant said. "While

our record is good, our focus is on C-USA results."

The task was not an easy one as the Tigers struggled to a 1-6-2 finish in Conference USA play.

Grant's troops dropped six games by a single goal, four of which came in league action, and saw their streak of games without being shutout come to an end at 27 in a 1-0 loss at Evansville.

Sophomores Andy Metcalf and Dayton O'Brien led the Tigers' offense that dominated the opposition in nearly all offensive categories. As a team, the Tigers finished second in the league in goals scored and outscored and outshot its opponents, while also holding a sizeable advantage in corner kicks. While the offense pressured opposing defenses, the U of M defense forced 74 offsides penalties against rival attacks.

"The brand of soccer we want to play is attacking minded, and our statistics show that we have been able to score goals and create chances," Grant said.

With just three seniors on the squad— defender Dusty Brezovsky, senior captain and third team All-C-USA performer Graham Gibbs and goalkeeper Clark Talley— the play of underclassmen was vital to the team's success. Led by Metcalf and O'Brien, the underclassmen combined to score all 87 points on the year.

"Dayton (O'Brien) and Andy (Metcalf) are both attacking minded payers, and we gave them at-

20O3 Highlights

Memphis Tigers vs. Dallas Burn March 13, 2004 * m * he University of Memphis held the I j Major League Soccer's Dallas Burn J_ offense scoreless through the first half of action, but were shutout 4-0 on March 13, 2004 in Dallas, Texas.

Eddie Johnson scored two goals to lead Dallas past the Tigers on a chilly, rain soaked field at the University of Texas at Dallas. Two hundred fans showed up to cheer on the two teams as goals from Dallas captain Bobby Rhine and Jason Thompson completed the Burn score sheet. All four goals came in the second half of play.

"We defended very well in the first half," said Memphis head coach Richie Grant. "We got a tremendous team effort, and it was a positive experience for our team. We are encouraged about what we got out of the game."

Memphis put together a trio of scoring

chances throughout the contest, with the best chance coming in the second half when Andy Metcalf outraced a Dallas defender to a ball played forward by Graham Gibbs.

However, Metcalf then missed the shot.

Notable Tiger performers along with Metcalf were Daniel Dobson, Cormac McArdle and Gibbs.

"Dobson was an outstanding performer for us today," Grant said. "He anchored the defense, was composed on the ball, excellent in the air and tough in the tackle. He proved that he can play at the professional level.

"Cormac (McArdle) was good at left fullback. It was tough for them to defend him coming forward."

The spring meeting with Dallas is the Tigers' first ever matchup against a MLS team.

Mike Rose Soccer Complex Sl he 2004 season will mark the \ fourth season the Memphis Ti_M_ gers will call the Mike Rose Soccer Complex home. Having played all of their home matches at Mike Rose in 2002 and 2003, the Tigers will again entertain all incoming opponents at the facility during the season. The complex was the site of the 2003 Ford Conference USA Tournament.

After only hosting C-USA teams at the 3,000 seat Mike Rose Stadium in 2003, the Tigers will play all their home games at the complex in 2004.

Last year non-conference matchups were played at Echles Field on the campus of the university.

"As far as quality and atmosphere, Mike Rose is first class."

Women's Head Coach Brooks Monaghan

The state-of-the-art facility sits on 136.17 acres and houses 16 FIFA dimension fields equipped with Bermuda grass, state-of-the-art playing surface complete with underground drainage, sprinklers systems and lighted playing fields. Accompanying these fields are fully paved walkways, easily accessible parking, restrooms, covered pavilions, picnic and recreation area and a three-acre lake. It is a definite asset to both the Tiger and Lady Tiger soccer programs.

"The facility has helped us in recruiting some of the better players in the region to our program." said head men's coach Richie Grant.

Participant facilities within the stadium structure include showers and locker rooms, a food court, corporate skybox, full media services, administrative offices and a conference room.

"Being able to play at Mike Rose enables our program to compete with anyone facility wise," said head women's coach Brooks Monaghan. "There may be some facilities that are similar or close to Mike Rose, but I honestly don't feel there are any better. As far as quality and atmosphere, Mike Rose is first class."

Located in southeast Shelby County, just east of the Memphis city limits, the

1

Mike Rose facility is also home to the Memphis Express of the Premier Development League, which has established itself in the Memphis soccer community and helped bring soccer excitement throughout the Mid-South.

"We feel like Mike Rose is one of the best college soccer facilities in the country." Grant said. "The quality of the surface makes for entertaining soccer every night."

Tiger Tidbits Tigers Locker Room The University of Memphis men's soccer team received a boost in 2003 as the program added a new locker room.

The updated facilities were made possible through financial aid raised by club supporters. The lockers are located at the Murphy Athletic Complex at the U of M South Campus.

Former Tiger soccer player Mike Kauker contributed his skills to the remodeling project. Kauker played from 1982-86 at Memphis as a defender/midfielder. He racked up 82 games with the Tigers and scored two goals.

Kauker received additional support from the current Memphis players as they helped tear out the old lockers and replace them with new ones.

Silent Auction With the collective support of several organizations, the 2004 Men's Soccer Silent Auction raised about $6,000 to support the Tiger program.

The auction took place on Thursday, April 15 in the lobby of the Billy J. Murphy Athletic Complex at South Campus. With the collective support of U of M coaches, other athletic teams, Tiger soccer alumni, the entire University of Memphis Athletic staff and the U of M Soccer Supporter's Club, the event turned out to be a great success.

"The auction has become a nice event on our calendar every year," said head coach Richie Grant. "The money raised gives our program a chance to do different things."

Tommy West, Tiger football coach, served as the event's guest speaker, while the voice of Tiger football and basketball, Dave Woloshin, emceed the auction.

Some of the top items sold at this year's auction were a game of golf with Tiger head coaches West and Grant, a soccer ball autographed by Frank Borghi and Gino Pariani, two members of the 1950 U.S. World Cup team, and a USA Soccer jersey autographed by national team member Richard Mulrooney.

Droohs Monaghan

HEHD COUCH • nnn SEASON • MEMPHIS. TENN. • MEMPHIS. 1994 Entering his fifth season at the helm of the Lady Tigers' soccer program, head coach Brooks Monaghan has his sights set on the program's second Conference USA Tournament appearance in three years.

Monaghan helped start the women's soccer program at Memphis from scratch eight years ago. He spent four seasons as the goalkeepers' coach, before being offered the head coaching position in 2000.

Monaghan had a vision for a struggling Memphis program that had combined to win just 10 games the previous two seasons and notched just one conference win the year before he took over as the second head coach in Lady Tigers soccer history.

It did not take long for the former Tiger standout to make his mark on the Lady Tiger program. In his first season, Monaghan guided a team that had won just five games the previous season to a nine-win season and within one victory of a berth in the Conference USA Championship Tournament. The Lady Tigers' four-game improvement was the best in the program's brief seven-year history.

As is the case with any team, an increase in

victories leads to an increase in expectations.

But Monaghan's young Lady Tigers suffered through some growing pains in 2001 and saw the promise of an exciting season fall victim to nine one-goal losses and four others by just two goals as they finished the campaign at 5-13-1.

The improvement continued in the 2002 campaign as Monaghan was able to bring in a talented group of newcomers. Monaghan was able to mix his group of gifted newcomers with senior leadership and solid defense to lead the Lady Tigers to their first appearance in the Conference USA Tournament since the 1997 season.

"That was our primary goal entering the season and we were able to accomplish it by playing our best soccer towards the end of the year," Monaghan said.

The 2002 squad's four-game improvement tied Monghan's 2000 team for the best improvement in Lady Tiger history. The 2002 team was the first in the program's history to finish with a .500 record in league play, and the Lady Tigers did so by winning four of their last five C-USA matches by shutting out their opposition.

The 2003 team again was unable to live up to the expectations set by the previous year's team.

With just two seniors, the young squad suffered through a 5-10-3 season and won just two CUSA contests. Monaghan was able to come out of the season with a moral victory, however, as eight of the 10 losses the Lady Tigers' suffered were by a single goal.

Monaghan was able to provide many of his underclassmen with invaluable playing experience that should help continue to build the Memphis Lady Tiger soccer program into a regional force.

Although the season was a tough pill to swallow for Monaghan, he knew that brighter days were ahead as two of his top returners were named Conference USA first team performers following the season.

The 2004 season will be Monaghan's fifth as the head at the University of Memphis, which equals the longest coaching stint by a Lady Tiger coach. He is just seven wins shy of surpassing former head coach Les Szabo as the Lady Tigers' all-time winningest coach.

Prior to becoming the Lady Tiger head coach, Monaghan served as the primary goalkeepers' coach and was a vital part of the Memphis coaching staff during the program's first four seasons. Under Monaghan's guidance, the Lady Tigers' goals-against average dropped from 2.74 in 1995 to 1.77 in 1999.

Monaghan's coaching career followed an impressive collegiate campaign. After spending his freshman year at Evansville, Monaghan transferred to the U of M and helped lead the Tigers to a share of the conference championship in 1992 and

an outright title in 1993. As the Tiger goalkeeper, Monaghan posted single-season records with a 0.80 goals-against average and 11 shutouts en route to being named First Team All-Great Midwest Conference as a junior. His 24 shutouts and 1.40 GAA over his three years are careerbests in Tiger soccer history. He led Memphis to a record 38 wins in his career. He is second in the Tiger record books with 298 saves.

A prep standout at Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, Monaghan's college career earned him a spot on the U-20 national squad.

A native of Memphis, Tenn., Monaghan graduated from the University of Memphis with a B.S. in Business Management. He is single and resides in Memphis.

She has moved up the ranks from player to assistant coach with some titles in between during her 10 seasons with the program.

Fisher was a forward on the first-ever Lady Tiger squad in 1995. During her four seasons at Memphis, Fisher complied school records for goals (33) and points (92). She also played in 79 career matches and was named to the C-USA AllFreshman Team in 1995 and third-team All-Conference in 1997. She was a twotime C-USA Offensive Player of the Week, once as a freshman and once as a senior.

In 1999, Fisher was named graduate assistant coach and spent two seasons in that role before being named to her current post as assistant coach prior to the 2001 season. Besides assisting Coach Monaghan with on-field coaching duties, Fisher has helped guide the Lady Tigers to academic prowess in the classroom.

The 2002 squad had a combined GPA of 3.082 and 92 percent of the team members were named to the Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll which was the best among University of Memphis athletic teams.

HH imjiisi lutism After the Lady Tigers lost eight matches last season by one goal, including all seven losses in Conference USA play, fifth-year head coach Brooks Monaghan is hoping that those tough losses will turn into wins this year with an experienced and veteran team under his instruction.

Nine starters and 15 letterwinners return from last year's squad that went 5-10-3 overall and 2-7-1 in C-USA. This includes seven seniors and four juniors.

"On paper, last year's team was probably the strongest that we've had as long as this program has been around," said Monaghan. "Every one of those games we felt we could have won.

The players definitely realize how close they were last year to being on top and that will help them put in the extra work they need to reach that level."

Three of the Tigers' top four point scorers return as do nine of the 10 players that recorded at least one goal last season. Memphis also adds a total of eight newcomers, including seven freshman and one transfer to the mix. Two redshirt freshmen also return to the active roster after sitting out last season.

"It was unique in that we felt we had a better spring team than we had a fall team last year and that usually does not happen," Monaghan commented. "We return almost everyone on the team and that is important. There are some talented newcomers that will push for playing time but the core of the team is already in place."

Forwards Conference USA's leading goal scorer Yuiko Konno returns for her senior season to anchor the Memphis attack. Konno scored 12 goals and recorded 27 points, which was tied for first in the conference. For her efforts, she garnered AII-C-USA first team accoldes and was also named All-Central Region third team by both the NSCAA and Soccer Buzz, becoming the

Memphis Tigers Soccer

first player in the program's history to garner regional recognition. She was also a 2004 preseason AII-C-USA pick.

"Every good team has a goal scorer," said Monaghan. "Yuiko has a knack for scoring goals and is a phenominal technical player.

We are expecting big things from her."

Joining Konno up front will be sophomore Madison Cheek. She played in all 18 games last year, starting 10 of them as a freshman. Cheek coled the team in assists with four and also scored one goal for six points.

Another scoring option the Tigers should have this year is sophomore transfer Shoko Mikami, who comes across town from Christian Brothers University. Mikami led the nation in scoring in Division II last season, racking up 33 goals and also leading the country in goals per game (1.65) and points per game (3.80). She also tallied 10 assists for a total of 76 points.

"Shoko also has a knack for scoring and she showed that last year," commented Monaghan. "I think she will keep teams honest because they will be looking for Yuiko. It is tough to defend against two good goal scorers."

A trio of freshmen will also battle for playing time up front while providing depth at the position.

Candace Halvorson, who redshirted last season after suffering a knee injury, as well as true freshmen Caroline Barrett and Carla Scaniello will also figure into the mix. Both Barrett and Scaniello will also see some time in the midfield.

"Candace has a strong spring coming off her injury. We expect big things from her," said Monaghan. "Caroline and Carla are both very athletic and have great

*

40

speed. We will look to them to contribute from that start."

Midfielders The other AII-CUSA honoree from the Tigers last season, junior Nicky McLeod, will anchor the midfield. The only Memphis player to start all 18 games last year, McLeod finished third on the team in points with eight, scoring two goals, both of which were game-winners, and recording four assists, tied for the most on the team. She joined Konno on the 2004 preseason AllConference team.

"Everyone knows who Nicky is," said Monaghan. "She has good speed and is our workhorse."

A pair of seniors that saw quite a bit of action last year will also figure to see quite of bit of action this year.

Susannah Dawells, who started eight games last year, and Annika Moller, who started 1 1 , should provide a large number of minutes as well as invaluable leadership and experience in the middle of the field. Dawells recorded two assists last year while Moller had a goal and three assists, with all three helpers coming in a single game, which tied the conference record. " B o t h Sussanah and Annika are leaders, Sussanah on the field, while Annika leads more by example," Monaghan remarked. "Both have improved every year they have been here."

anMI nitr limit that also saw a lot of minutes last year should once again see a lot of time on the field. Melissa Savage playing in all 18 games, starting 16 of them while recording two assists. Classmate Brittany Strung started two games and played in 15, netting a single goal but she will sit out this year as a redshirt after sustaining a knee injury.

Also figuring to see some playing time this year are junior walk-on Heather Wilson, who played in four games a year ago, as well as the freshman trio of Vicki Greenwell, Kelsey Irish, and Halley Jo Sullivan.

Defenders Perhaps the strongest part of the team, the Tiger defense returns all four starters from last year.

Led by seniors Leanne McGee, Mary Shelton, Monica Powell and Jocelyn Raine, the defense also boasts the most experience of any position. McGee played in all but one game last year and started 15 of them while Shelton played in all 18 and started 17. Both also amassed some offensive numbers as well as McGee recorded a single assist and Shelton a single goal. Powell started five games, played in 14, and also recorded a single goal. Raine played 14 games, starting six while recording a goal and an assist.

Adding to the experience in the backfield are junior Courtnee Melton, sophomore Beth Keating, and junior Robyn Smart, who moves to the backfield from forward. Melton was an ironhorse last year, playing in all 18 games while starting 16, while Keating saw action in 16 contests, starting 11.

Smart played in all 18 games, starting 14 and scoring a single goal.

Also figuring into the defensive backfield and providing some youthful depth will be Elaine Sedgewick, who

can also play in the midfield. She played for the Under-17 National Team in England.

"Our defenders have played together for a long time and are very aware of how each other plays," Monaghan observed. "Our backline should be solid and that should help give our keepers confidence."

Goalkeepers lf the defense i s the most experienced part of the team, then that experience will be necessary in the development of the goalkeepers, as t h e goalie position is the most inexperienced part of the team. A pair of freshmen, one true and one redshirt, will compete for the starting goalkeeper position. Neither one has seen a single minute of collegiate action.

Redshirt freshman Isabel Briones was expected to challenge for the starting position a year ago but injured her knee last summer, forcing the redshirt. She made 204 saves in her prep ca- ^ reer at Gadsden High School in Gadsden, Ala. Also contending for playing time will be true freshman Natalie Haerens, who comes to Memphis from Lake Mary, Fla. She recorded a career mark of 41 -9-5 and held a 0.71 goals against average at Lake Mary High School.

"The goalkeeper position should be very tightly contested," said Monaghan.

"That compeition should help keep them sharp and at their best."

Schedule The Tigers will play a non-conference schedule loaded with regional

and in-state opponents in addition to the always challenging Conference USA slate.

After a preseason game against Southeast Missouri State, the Tigers will travel to Alabama A&M to open the season on Sunday, August 29. They will then travel to Oxford, Miss, to take on the Ole Miss Rebels two days later.

The Rebels topped the Tigers last season and are one of the two teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament last year that the Tigers will play this year.

The home opener comes on Sunday, September 5 against the first of three in-state foes, Middle Tennessee State. The Tigers then travel to Tennessee-Martin and host Tennessee Tech later in the week, wrapping up their in-state slate within a week.

The Tigers then travel to Mississippi State on September 14 before returning home for four straight home games, beginning with Missouri Valley Conference opponent Drury on September 17. They then host Samford and begin conference play with defending tournament champion DePaul on September 24. They wrap up non-conference play against another MVC team, Evansville on the 26th.

October will see the Tigers play nine conference games, four at home and five on the road. Memphis will not play Louisville, Southern Miss, or Tulane this year as part of the rotating schedule.

The Conference USA Tournament will feature the top eight teams in the standings at the end of the regular season and be hosted by Saint Louis at Hermann Stadium on the campus of SLU. For the first time since its opening, the Mike Rose Soccer Complex will be the site of all Memphis Tiger home games, after hosting only conference games since its opening.

So close, yet so far away. That is the best way to describe the 2003 Lady Tiger soccer team that played well at times, but could not string together enough victories to reach the preseason goals set by the players and head coach Brooks Monaghan. The Lady Tigers wanted to build on the momentum the team established in 2002 when they reached the C-USA Tournament for the first time in four seasons.

However, a 5-10-3 overall record and a 2-7-1 mark in league play prevented the Lady Tigers from a making a return trip to postseason play. Going by just the record, it would be easy for outsiders to label last season as a letdown, but for Monaghan that is something hard to do.

"Of course you want to win more games than we did and make it to the league tournament," Monaghan said. "But, I can't fault my players for the effort they gave last season. We had two players on the first-team all-conference team and that speaks volumes for a team that didn't make the tournament.

"We were never out of a conference match and there are not many teams in our league that can claim that. Sometimes the breaks go your way and sometimes they don't. Last year for us, they just went to the other team."

To put it in perspective, all seven of the team's league losses were by just one goal and in their two victories they outscored Tulane and Southern Miss 7-2. Opponents scored the game-tying goal or go-ahead goal with less than three minutes to go in regulation on three different occasions in C-USA play. Unfortunately, the Lady Tigers were on the losing end of two of those matches and tied one. The team was never overmatched in any league contest as each of their losses was by one goal. The squad never trailed by more than a goal in any of its 10 C-USA matches.

After a shaky start against two Southeastern Conference foes, the Lady Tigers rebounded to outscore their opponents 26-20 the remainder of the season. Junior Yuiko Konno, a transfer from Chiba, Japan, tallied the team's first goal of the season in a 3-1 loss to Mississippi State. The tally would be the first of 12 she netted during the campaign. Her 12 goals were tied for the Conference USA lead and the most by a Lady Tiger since Shelly Heinz had 12 during the 1995 season. Konno finished with 27 points which was the fourth-highest total in school history.

For her efforts, Konno was one of two Lady Tigers named to the All-Conference USA first team. She was joined by midfielder Nicky McLeod, who was third on the team in points with eight and tied for first in assists with four.

Konno and McLeod were the only pair of first team members who did not participate in the postseason tournament.

Konno also earned All-Central Region third-team honors.

Winless through their first five matches with a record of 0-3-2, the Lady Tigers cracked the win column in Springfield, Mo., where they defeated Drury 3-0. Memphis jumped out to a 2-0 lead at the half behind goals from Konno and junior Monica Powell. It was Powell's first goal of her career.

nil SSISM letlai The team took their momentum from the Drury win to Louisville, where they opened up C-USA play with the Cardinals. The match went scoreless through the first 75 minutes before forward Kirsty Marr broke the tie with a goal assisted by McLeod. Unfortunately, the Lady Tigers relinquished the lead in the 88th minute and the game ended in a 1 -1 tie.

The Lady Tigers managed to sandwich in a pair of non-conference wins between four tough one-goal losses in league play. Konno had three goals and an assist in the two victories as Memphis feat UT-Martin 3-1 and Alabama A&M 5-1.

Junior Annika Moller was the only C-USA player to record three assists in a match in the 2003 season, doing so in the Alabama A&M match.

Marr, McLeod and Konno combined to score four goals as the Lady Tigers blanked Tulane for their first league win of the season. Marr had a pair of goals while McLeod and Konno each added a goal and an assist in the victory. Senior Kari Rawe recorded the shutout.

The team backed up its first league win of the season with an exciting 3-2 overtime victory over Southern Miss at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex. Konno had a pair of goals, including the game-winner, to put the Lady Tigers within striking distance of a C-USA Tournament berth.

However, the victory over the Golden Eagles would end up being the last of the season for the team as the Lady Tigers dropped a 1-0 decision to USF and a pair of 2-1 decisions at UAB and TCU, respectively to conclude conference play at 2-7-1.

8003 Lady Tiger Highlights • For the first time in Lady Tiger history, two student-athletes - Nicky McLeod and Yuiko Konno — were named first team All-Conference USA. • Konno led C-USA in goals scored (12) and tied for the league lead in points with 27.

• Konno was named to the NSCAA AllCentral Region Third Team and was also a Soccer Buzz All-Central Region Third Team selection. She was also named C-USA Offensive Player of the Week in October to become the first Lady Tiger to garner the weekly award since the 2000 season.

• Team carried a 3.22 GPA for the 20022003 season to earn the NSCAA Team Academic Award for the 2002-03 school year.

Conference USA games in bold.

Citfsrstes 151 Conference USA celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2004-05. A significant milestone for the league, the 10th year finds the conference preparing to embark on a new era in its already remarkable history.

Marshall, Rice, SMU, Tulsa, UCF and UTEP will join East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, Southern Miss, Tulane and UAB in a 12-team conference with competition beginning in 2005-06. Current members Cincinnati, DePaul, Louisville, Marquette and USF will become members of the BIG EAST, while TCU goes to the Mountain West and Charlotte and Saint Louis will join the Atlantic 10 at the end of this season. The membership changes have given C-USA the opportunity to play a pivotal role in the changing face of conference affiliations and will reinforce the league's position in collegiate athletics for years to come.

"We are excited about adding new members and making structural improvements to Conference USA," Banowsky said. "This is an opportunity for us to tighten our geography, group similar institutions together, create a divisional model, and possibly stage a football championship game.

It will be very exciting to watch this league grow and develop."

The conference headquarters moves from Chicago to the Las Colinas area in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex in June 2004.

With a promising future ahead, there is plenty for the league to celebrate from its first nine years. After its formation in 1995, hailed as a bold move in the world on intercollegiate sports, C-USA established a strong foundation while quickly earning a reputation of successfully competing at the highest levels of intercollegiate athletics. Capitalizing on the strengths of its 15 distinguished and diverse universities, Conference USA quickly emerged as one of the nation's top conferences.

A PROUD HISTORY: A STRONG IDENTITY The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner on April 24, 1995, in Chicago. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league's headquarters were established in Chicago and after nine years, relocated to Irving, Texas.

Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league's first commissioner.

In May 2000, the league introduced a brand identity program, featuring a family of new marks that reflect the urban, progressive and bold nature of the C-USA brand. The new logos are part of a comprehensive marketing and promotional pro- "•' •':, ( gram designed to reinforce the conference's athletic and national emergence. '" : (T EXPANSION AND REALIGNMENT CHART THE The league's charter members include Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003.

As another wave of major conference realignment took shape in 200304, Conference USA announced the addition of Marshall, Rice, SMU, UTEP, Tulsa and UCF. The six join East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, Southern Miss, Tulane and UAB in a 12-team conference for competition beginning in 2005-06.

COMPETITION Conference USA sponsors 19 sports - baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis, and track and field (indoor and outdoor) for men and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, Softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field (indoor and outdoor), and volleyball for women.

r .mm

For almost a century the University of Memphis has been a catalyst for progress in the city of Memphis, the state of Tennessee, and the surrounding Mid-South region. Exceptional students from Tennessee, from every other state in the nation, and from almost 100 countries around the world choose to attend the University of Memphis. They come here on the recommendation of their major professors at European uniTHE UNIVERSITY OF versities; they come here to study subjects that are offered nowhere else; they come to study alongside men and women who are recognized and respected throughout the academic and scientific communities as foremost in their fields. Ever forward-looking, the University of Memphis is poised to enter one of its most historic and productive periods. From the faculty and staff to the alumni and benefactors, the U ofM's "people assets" have never been more willing, able and generous in their efforts to make a life-long impact on the young minds at the U ofM.

MEMPHIS

T

he University of Memphis was founded under the auspices of the General Education Bill, enacted by the Tennessee Legislature in 1909. Known originally as West Tennessee Normal School, the institution opened its doors Sept. 10, 1912, with Dr. Seymour A. Mynders as president.

Students in the first classes selected blue and gray as the school colors and the Tiger as the mascot. (Tradition holds that the colors, those of the opposing armies during the Civil War, were chosen in commemoration of the reuniting of the country after that divisive conflict.)

Over the next decade, The Desoto yearbook was created, the first library was opened in the Administration Building, the first dining hall was built and the first men's dorm was built; today that dorm, Scates Hall, houses the academic counseling offices.

In 1925 the name of the college changed to West Tennessee State Teachers College.

Three years later, the Brister Library was built, named after two-term president John W. Brister. In 1931 the students created a campus newspaper, The Tiger Rag; and in 1935 the school's agriculture department was discontinued.

The college changed names again in 1941, becoming Memphis State College, and in 1946 the first alumnus was named president, J. Millard "Jack" Smith. In 1950 graduate studies were initiated, and in 1954 the school switched from a quarter to a semester system.

In 1957 the state legislature designated Memphis State full university status. In 1959 the university admitted its first black students, and the first doctoral programs began in 1966. The 1970s, under President Cecil C. Humphreys, saw new buildings constructed across the campus, including a University Center and a 12-story library. In 1983 MSU became the first public university in Tennessee to gain accreditation of its entire curriculum.

The 1990s were characterized by another name change and another building boom.

In 1994 MSU became The University of Memphis, and the Ned R. McWherter Library was completed. As the century closed, a 1,200-seat theater was being completed, and plans were underway for the FedEx Emerging Technology Center adjacent to the Fogelman College of Business and Economics and a full-service hotel and hospitality training facility, a $ 15 million gift from Holiday Inns founder Kemmons Wilson.

Today, The University of Memphis is one of Tennessee's two comprehensive institutions of higher learning. Situated on an urban campus in the state's largest city, it is the flagship of the Tennessee Board of Regents system. It awards more than 3,000 degrees annually.

With an enrollment of approximately 20,000 students, The University of Memphis has 24 Chairs of Excellence, more than any other Tennessee university, and five stateapproved centers of excellence.

The University of Memphis remains committed to the education of a non-racially identifiable student body and promotes diversity and access without regard to race, gender, religion, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status. ^lOre.

Sheila Neba, the second senior on the 2003 squad, finished her career ranked hi die top 10 hi block solos and assists and total blocks and .260 career attack percentage ranks third in school history.

The 2003 Lady Tiger soccer team would much rather have advanced to postseason play, but the squad can take solace in placing a pair of players on the All Conference-USA first team. Forward Yuiko Konnp and midfielder Nicky McLeod both made the squad marking the first time in school history that a pair of Lady Tigers earned such a distinction in the same season. The team finished with a 5-10-3 record overall and a 2-7-1 league mark. The team was never overmatched in any league contest as each of their losses was by one goal. The squad never trailed by more than a goal in any of its 10 C-USA matches. In their two league victories, the Lady Tigers outscored Tulane and Southern Miss by a combined score of 7-2.

Under the guidance of head coach Richie Grant, the 2003 edition of Memphis soccer finished the year with an 8-8-2 record, marking the 17th season in which the Tigers have finished with the a record of .500 or better. It also marks as the second consecutive season and the third in four years that Memphis has finished with a winning record under Grant. Sophomores Andy Metcalf and Dayton O'Brien led the Tigers offense that dominated the opposition in nearly all offensive categories. As a team, the Tigers finished second in the league in goals scored. Metcalf led way with a team-high 24 points on 10 goals and four assists en route to earning NSCAA/adidas All-Midwest Region second team, the 2003 CoSIDA Academic All-America third team, the CoSIDA All-District IV team and All C-USA second team honors.

O'Brien was selected to the All-Midwest Region third team for the second straight year, while also being tabbed an AII-C-USA second team performer. Senior captain Graham Gibbs was also named to the AII-C-USA third team. i

The Tigers entered the 2003 cross country season with a lot of promise, but injuries prevented the Tigers from reaching their full potential. Senior All C-USA runner Mate Nemeth was forced to have surgery on his sinuses, limiting his ability and freshman Szaboles Karadi (back) and sophomore Rehan Mohmood (ankle) both suffered injuries. Mahmood would miss the entire season while Karadi was never 100 percent. The Tigers were led by Senior Adam Didyk and Senior Kym Morgan as Memphis placed seventh at the C-USA Championships. Didyk finished in llth place with an 8K time of 25:28.70, while Morgan placed 27th (26:12.80). Didyk was named Third Team All C-USA in 2003. The Lady Tigers entered the 2003 season with a brand new look. Coach Jonas Holdeman added seven true freshmen and former Lady Tiger soccer standout Ali Baker to the squad in hopes of bolstering the team's success. In the end, the team's youth was too much to overcome as the Lady Tigers placed 14th in C-USA. The Lady Tigers top runner at the C-USA Championships was true freshman Mary Claire Dake who ran a 23:30.00 in the 6K race.

With just one senior on the roster and with six newcomers, no one could have predicted the success the men's tennis team had in 2004. Senior Lee Taylor Walker knocked out an outstanding senior season, finishing the year ranked No. 95 in the country in singles after guiding a young Tiger squad to their first-ever Conference USA Semifinals appearance in a tournament which the Tigers hosted on the U of M courts. Walker started the fall by becoming the first Tiger to ever advance to the ITA Southeast Regional Singles Semifinals, another tournament Memphis would host, before falling to Dmitriy Koch of Tulane. First-year player James Spence had a solid season, playing No. 2 singles and No. 1 doubles, and finishing with a 12-9 record in singles. The Tigers also helped Head Coach Phil Chamberlain pick up his 100th career victory with a second-round, 4-3 victory over USF in the Conference USA Tournament. Walker capped the year with an ITA , Southeast Region Sportsmanship Award and then made Memphis history by becoming the first Tiger to ever receive a national award with i the ITA/Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship and Leadership Award. Walker also became the first Tiger to ever earn a Conference USA First Team * All-Conference Award. The Tigers finished with a 15-11 record. i

Another young team on campus included the University of Memphis women's tennis team. Guided by two seniors who were each just in their second seasons of college tennis in the U.S., the team also included three freshmen, meaning Head Coach Charlotte Peterson would spend a majority of the early spring season trying to figure out her line-up. Senior Marlene Dirnstorfer moved from No. 5 singles up to No. 1 singles, with somewhat surprising results. Managing to stay healthy the entire spring season, Dirnstorfer earned a Third Team AllConference USA Honor after going 17-6 at No. 1 singles. Dirnstorfer would cap an outstanding season with a Academic All-District Second Team honor, the highest Academic Honor Awarded to a Memphis women's tennis player. The senior's All-Conference USA honor marked the sixth consecutive season that a Lady Tiger has earned an all-conference award, and Dirnstorfer will be back for 2004, opting to enter graduate school while completing her senior season. Also earning academic honors were freshman Christina Wieser and sophomore Andrea Feichtinger. Both were named ITA Scholar-Athletes with Dirnstorfer, and were also members of the Conference USA Honor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club, while Dirnstorfer was named a C-USA Commissioner's Academic Medalist after posting a 4.0 GPA during the spring of 2004.

It took first-year Head Coach Grant Robbins just a few short monthsto guide his team to its first tournament victory, as the Tigers fired an 846 to win the Matlock Collegiate Classic in February of 2004. The Tigers struggled at the Conference USA tournament, finishing tied for eighth, while senior Alan Weant finished tied for seventh after a two-over par 74 on the final day of the conference championship.

Both Weant and fellow senior David Jeans were named all-conference student-athletes. Jeans was a second-team honoree, while Weant capped his career with a third team honor. Junior Allan Thomas capped the year as aCleveland Golf All-America Scholar Recipient from the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA). As a team, the 2004 men's golfers posted their highest-ever GPA for the year, finishing with a 3.198 GPA.

The University of Memphis had a tremendous 2003-04 campaign that was capped off by winning a share of the Conference USA regularseason title and earning a second-straight NCAA Tournament berth. The Tigers, ranked No. 24 in the final Associated Press poll, posted a 22-8 overall record and claimed a part of the C-USA regular-season crown with a 12-4 league mark. The conference regular-season title was the program's first since 1995-96, and the consecutive NCAA appearances were the program's first since 1995 and 1996. Memphis won its first NCAA Tournament contest since 1995 with a first-round victory over South Carolina. As has been in the case in head coach John Calipari's tenure, the Tigers put together another lengthy winning streak, recording 11 -straight victories during the C-USA schedule.

The win streak - tied for the sixth-longest in Memphis history — included victories over NCAA Tournament teams Louisville, Charlotte and UAB and NjT participants Marquette and Saint Louis. Other prominent regular-season victories came over nationally-ranked Missouri and Ole Miss and Villanova on the road. In addition to the team's success, individual honors were received. Senior Antonio Burks was named C-USA Player of the Year, and Sean Banks was honored as the league's Freshman of the Year. Both players were also named to the AII-C-USA first team. Banks was named ESPN.coin's National Freshman of the Year, while Burks - who became the Tigers' 38th lopo-pohu scorer in history - was a finalist for the inaugural Bob Cousy Award, recognizing the nation's top point guard. The Tigers also finished 10th in the nation in home attendance, marking the fourth-straight year they have been ranked in the top 10.

The Lady Tiger basketball team had struggled the previous two years, and lost their biggest scoring and rebounding threat in senior Shannon Hamp. Early practices left former Coach Joye Lee-McNelis predicting another dismal season. But, the wave of excitement must have turned the tides because the Lady Tigers opened the season with six straight wins, including their first-ever win over Tennessee Tech in Cookeville, and an upset over SEC foe Ole Miss. In that span, Memphis also won its 12th straight Lady Tiger Classic title, and the sixgame winning streak was the best start for a Lady Tiger squad since 1978-79. Vanderbilt snapped the winning streak, but not the pride of the team. The Lady Tigers later picked up hard-fought victories over Idaho, Cincinnati, Charlotte, Southern Miss and Tulane, and took a No. 6 seeding into the C-USA Tournament. Memphis defeated UAB in the first round, but lost to Louisville to sit on Selection Sunday with a 20-9 record. Though they were shunned for the Big Dance, the Lady Tigers did receive a post-season bid to the WNIT; thus snapping a two-year drought of post-season action. Memphis hosted Tulsa, a future C-USA foe, in the first round and defeated them, 66-64, to advance to round two. The Lady Tigers took to the road and ended their post-season run with a disheartening loss to Western Kentucky. Memphis ended the year with a 21-10 record, marking their best record since 1998-99. Junior Victoria Crawford received honors in 2003-04, garnering third-team AII-C-USA accolades. She was also named the league's Sixth Player of the Year. The 2003-04 season also marked the end of an era as McNelis announced her departure after 13 years at the helm of the program. Only the second head coach in Lady Tiger history, McNelis totaled seven post-season appearances, nine winning seasons and six 20-win seasons.

With only one senior on the squad, the 2003 University of Memphis baseball team showed its youth by struggling to a 21-33 overall record and an 11-18 mark in Conference USA play. However, the Tigers showed promise down the stretch for bright seasons ahead. In their final three league series, the Tigers went 6-3 including a three-game sweep of Saint Louis and series win over perennial C-USA power Houston, who went on to win an NCAA Regional in the post-season. JUCO-transfer Jarrett Grube led the late-season push winning his last four starts in league play, allowing just two earned runs in 27.2 innings of work. Grube was twice named C-USA Pitcher of the Week for his efforts during the season and had the club's only complete-game shutout in a 7-0 victory over Charlotte. Fellow JUCO-transfers Kurt Welch and Kevin House provided a nice array of offense for the Tigers. The duo led the club in RBI with 36 and 34, respectively while House, who played centerfield, led the team in hits with 62. Sophomore DH Ryan Martin led the team with a .338 batting average and tied for the club lead in home runs with seven along with second baseman Michael Lewis and rightfielder Josh Payne. Payne belted three of his home runs in a 24-1 route of UT-Martin and drove in eight runs which marked the first time a Tiger had achieved that feat in the program's history. Martin, along with freshman pitcher Stephen Gostkowski, earned All-Conference honors as Martin was named to the second-team as a designated hitter. Gostkowski was named to the All-Freshman team, an honor he also received for the U of M football team. The right-handed pitcher was second on the team in wins with four and finished with a 3.99 ERA.

The Lady Tiger golf team battled through a difficult season in 2003. Former head Coach Sheryl Maize took a one-year leave from the university to deal with family matters, leaving a young Lady Tiger roster that featured just one senior with five freshmen to work with interim head coach Donna Noonan, who joined Memphis from the NCAA in the off-season. Senior Jennifer Jaszek battled through her senior season, capping her career tied for 16th at the Conference USA Championships, while helping Memphis to an 8th place finish. The young team would get some reassuring news in the off-season with the hiring of Campbell Assistant Coach Jenny Bruun. Bruun will take over the Lady Tiger program beginning with the 2004-05 season.

Butch Woolbright's recruits made 2003-04 a memorable one for the rifle team. Sophomore Beth Tidmore and freshman Katie Benjamin would both be named NRA Collegiate All-Americans, while Tidmore would advance to compete in both the NCAA Championships and the U.S. Olympic Trials during the spring. At the NCAAs, Tidmore qualifed as an individual shooter in both smallbore and air rifle competitions. The NRA Ail-American honors were the highest-ever for any Tiger shooter, after Tidmore was an honorable mention as a freshman. The sophomore from Decatur, Ga., would cap the year with a 13th-place finish at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

Senior discus thrower Gaute Myklebust set a new school record in the discus at 60.85m (199-08) at the Modesto Relays. This propelled him through the season as he won both the shot put and discus competitions at the C-USA Outdoor Championships and was named CoConference USA Male Outdoor Athlete of the Year. He won the NCAA Mid-East Regional title in the discus throw with a mark of 60.42m (198-03). He placed fourth at the NCAA Championships in the discus, the highest finish for any Tiger athlete since 1981. Senior distance runner Mate Nemeth won both the 3000m Steeplechase and the 5000m run at the C-USA Outdoor Championships. He advance to the NCAA Championships in the steeplechase and placed 11 th. The Tigers qualified seven athletes for the post-season in 2004 as Myklebust and Nemeth were joined by Larry Harris (400m hurdles), Ivan Williams (200m), Stein Syverson (shot put), Adam Martin (shot put), and Istvan Kerekjarto (800m, 1500m). As a team, the Tigers placed fourth in the C-USA Outdoor Championships and fifth in the C-USA Indoor Championships in 2004.

Lisa-Marie Hyman placed second in the triple jump at the C-USA Indoor Championships setting a new school record at 12.98m (42-07).

Hyman, junior Victoria Crawford and Freshman Cassandra Harding gave the Lady Tigers a trio of excellent triple jumpers. Crawford became the Lady Tigers only post-season qualifier in the triple jump with a leap of 12.52m at the C-USA Outdoor Championships. She became the first Lady Tiger to place in four events at a championship meet by placing second in the triple jump, third in the high jump (1.68m), fourth in the heptathlon with a school record 4,849 points, and fifth in the long jump with a mark of 5.70m. Freshman Cassandra Harding placed fifth in the triple jump with a leap of 12.01m. Crawford and Harding were responsible for all 27 points scored • r^^ ^— ^^ ^ by the Lady Tiger s at the meet.

onsidered the Home of the Blues and the Birthplace of Rock 'n Roll, the city of Memphis' musical roots run deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America.

Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1,000,000 residents while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town.

Downtown Memphis is in the midst of a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which is transforming the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects has been the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals' Triple-A club. The new 14,320-seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. Another sports venue added to the Memphis skyline will be the FedExForum, slated to open in the Fall of 2004. The FedExForum will be home to the NBA Grizzlies and the University of Memphis Men's Basketball teams. Located adjacent to world famous Beale Street, the FedExForum will serve as a multipurpose arena.

Downtown is served by the Main Street Trolley. The trolley system, which first opened in April of 1993, currently consists of the Main Street Line which passes near such Memphis landmarks as Beale Street, the Pinch District, Court Square and the National Civil Rights Museum. The Riverfront Loop includes a station in front of The Pyramid and offers riders a unique vista of the Mississippi River.

Memphis musical roots can be traced to band leader W.C. Handy who wrote the first blues song here in 1909, a campaign theme for Memphis mayor "Boss" Crump called "Boss Crump Blues" and later published as "The Memphis Blues." The sound soon caught on and blues bands filled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who have performed along Beale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby "Blue" Bland, and B.B. King.

Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. From B.B. King's to the Daisy Theatre, from Hard Rock Cafe to Pat O'Briens and the Rum Boogie Cafe, Beale Street has something to offer for everyone.

Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long musical festival is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony.

Located just off Beale Street is the Peabody Place Retail and Entertainment Center which opened in 2002. The 300,000 square foot re-

tail complex offers visitors a one-stop-shop for fun and excitement with a unique mix of entertainment, dining and shopping options unlike anything else in the region. The complex features a 22-screen movie theater and 3D IMAX as well as several theme restaurants, including Jillian's, which is a multi-dimensional entertainment venue complete with a bowling alley, billiards, a sports video cafe', and more than 150 electronic stimulation games.

Also located within a block of Beale Street is Gibson Guitar Memphis which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Also on the same property is the Smithsonian's Rock 'n' Soul Museum which includes artifacts documenting music's past.

Memphis' musical roots also includes Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records recording studios.

Stax became known for "sweet soul music" through such artists as the MarKeys, Booker T. and the MGs, -^ Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and 1^ Dave and Isaac Hayes. The Stax Museum reopened on it's original location at McLamore and Crump in the summer of 2003 and offers visitors a complete history of 'Soulsville USA".

One of Hi-Records' premier artists was Al Green. Sun Records' most famous recording artist was Elvis Presley and also boasted Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Pickens and Johnny Cash among its recording artists.

Elvis Presley's Graceland is one of the five most visited home tours in America and is the most famous home in America after the White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year.

Also located downtown is the refurbished Orpheum Theater which serves as a venue for performances by Ballet Memphis, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra and traveling broadway shows as well as the Orpheum Classic Movies series and other concerts.

Highlights of the 2003 Orpheum shows included the broadway hit The Lion King, a sold-out Nora Jones concert, The Producers and RENT. Downtown Memphis also hosted the KIX106 Country on Beale Music Series in the summer of 2004.

The city's location makes Memphis a major distribution hub with two interstate highways intersecting in the city.

Memphis is also home of FedEx, the nation's largest package carrier which makes Memphis International Airport the world's busiest cargo airport in the world. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day.

Memphis is also a twice daily stop by Amtrak's City of New Orleans which runs from Chicago to New Orleans.

ether it's cheering on the University f Memphis Tigers, catching a Red irds game downtown or following the touring professionals at the PGA FedEx St. Jude Golf Classic, when it comes to sports, the city of Memphis offers something for everyone.

The University of Memphis plays all of its home football games in Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, which also plays host to the annual Liberty Bowl game, pitting the Conference USA regular season champion against the Mountain West Conference champion.

The Tigers' basketball games are played in the FedExForum beginning in 2004-05, which will host the 2005 Conference USA Men's Basketball Championships. In 2000, The Pyramid was the host venue for the NCAA Women's Mideast Regional Basketball championship, and in 2003, Conference USA brought the Women's Basketball Tournament to the Pyramid.

The Lady Tiger basketball and volleyball teams have a definite home-court advantage playing in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse which is located in the center of the university's main campus. The fieldhouse has recently undergone a renovation that saw the addition of new chairback seating for fans.

The Memphis Redbirds are in their fifth season in the 14,320 seat Autozone Park. The Redbirds are the only not-for-profit team in the country. All operating profits are put back into The Memphis Redbirds Baseball Foundation, which funds two youth baseball programs, RBI (Returning Baseball to the Inner City) and STRIPES (SportsTeams Returning In the Public Education System).

The Tiger baseball team was fortunate in being able to play some of its 2004 home baseball games in Autozone Park. In an agreement with Redbirds management, the Tigers were able to play five events in the AAA park in the spring of 2004, including a series against thenNo. 4 East Carolina. Very few college teams play in a facility that is considered the equivalent of most major league parks.

This year's 47th annual FedEx St. Jude Classic continues to be one of the longest, continuous running sporting events in the city's history. The tournament adopted St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital as its beneficiary in 1970. Federal Express Corporation joined the tournament as the sponsor in 1986 and to date the event has generated over $14.0 million towards fighting childhood catastrophic diseases. Past cham-

The Kroger St. Jude is one of only nine championship-level tennis tournaments in North America and one of only two in the world to be held in a private club. For 27 years, the sport's brightest stars have come to Memphis and have voted the February tournament among their favorite stops worldwide on the ATP Tour.

The event has brought to Memphis such noted players as Pete Sampras, Andre Aggassi, Michael Chang and Stephen Edberg.

In October of 2001, Memphis became a member of the NBA-family when the Vancouver Grizzlies moved their franchise to The Pyramid. The NBA team plays over 40games per season in the city and offers citizens a chance to see such noted professional players as Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson and Kevin Garnett.

The Grizzlies will move from The Pyramid to the FedEx Forum in the fall of 2004. The new arena is currently under construction in the Beale Street area and is expected to draw even more fans to downtown and the city's entertainment districts of Beale Street and Peabody Place.

Memphis also offers its citizens 10 public and 15 private golf courses throughout the city. There are also 230 parks (totaling over 23,000 acres), 17 public swimming pools, 26 community centers, 14 country clubs, 80 public tennis courts and 108 hotels and motels (totaling 13,633 rooms).

Athletic Director R.C. Johnson, who has worked for 3 I vears ' n athletic administration and served as athletic director at Temple University, was named the Director of Athletics at The University of Memphis on December 29, 1995.

Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in putting together one of the most renowned athletic staffs in school history.

Since his arrival, Johnson has hired such high-profile coaches as former Clemson head football coach Tommy West, former New Jersey Nets and UMass head basketball coach John Calipari and Lady Tiger Basketball coach Blair Savage, who is considered one of the up-and-coming young coaches in the country. He recently added baseball coach Daron Schoenrock to the Memphis staff.

With his staff completed, the Iowa native set his sights on revamping University of Memphis athletic facilities and that goal has been completed.

Johnson initiated a capital campaign to add a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex to the current Athletic Office Building, a new basketball practice facility and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex.

The eight million dollar campaign was the largest fund raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics and has brought the Tiger athletic facilities on-line with Conference USA sister institutions.

During the spring of 1999, Johnson negotiated one of the richest radio broadcast packages in Tiger athletic history with WMCAM 790 in Memphis. The three-year agreement called for WMC to pay the University approximately $1.2 million for football and men's basketball rights.

During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, the Tiger Clubs Board of Directors and the athletic director's Ambassadors Club.

Johnson has conducted several meetings with the Memphis Park Commission to add a greater presence for the Tigers in Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Numerous signs appear in the Liberty Bowl indicating that the stadium is the "home of the Tigers."

At Temple, Johnson was responsible

for directing a program with more than 500 student-athletes in 20-men's and women's intercollegiate sports, including nationally visible programs in men's basketball and football. He was named Temple's director of athletics on May 9, 1994, after a national search.

The former Temple athletic director enjoys a reputation for building private and corporate support for intercollegiate athletics and for developing strong academic services for student-athletes.

Academic Services Dr. Joe Luckey is in his third year as the Director qf Athletic Academic Services. He mill his stuff of counselors imil tutors are instrumental in the success of U of M studentathletes in the classroom.

A native of Cincinnati. Luckey came to The U of M from Austin f'eay St. where he served as assistant athletics director for academic services .since 1996. In that capacity, he advised and counseled more than 200 athletes in 15 sports, monitoring their academic progress and eligihility with the goal of making sure each one graduated. He also -__ served as supervisor of the Student Athlete Advisorv Council, a forum for student athletes JUK j() (,Xy)r(,vv f iff ir opinions and voice their concerns.

LUCKEY Luckey received the 1999 Lan Hewlett Award for outstanding performance as an Director academic athletics advisor.

A graduate of the University of Dayton, Luckey earned a master's degree from Indiana University, an education specialist degree from Austin Peav, and a doctor of education degree from Tennessee State University.

Before joining Austin Petty in 1992, he worked in athletics at Indiana University and the Universitv of Davton. Joe and his wife Melissa, a former APSU vollevhall plaver and coach, have two sons, Adam and Tyler.

The University of Memphis' Center for Athletic Academic Services (CAAS) is dedicated to the academic and personal development of all Tiger student-athletes. Their mission is to provide support services to ensure that U of M student-athletes succeed in the classroom and obtain undergraduate degrees. The services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising.

In March 2002, vast improvements were beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time, Dr. Joe Luckey, took over the staff after spending the previous 10 years at Austin Peay State. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision.

In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned his office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newly-renovated Wilder Tower.

Dr. Luckey heads a staff of six which includes assistant director Nicole Green, counselors Becky Kolenbrander, Bridget VanLandeghem, Waqa Damuni and Maria Tyson and office coordinator Dorothy Gillard. In addition to the full-time staff, the CAAS utilizes 20-30 tutors, graduate assistants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an office as it provides academic services to all student-athletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance. Green, who was hired May 2003, was brought in specifically to handle NCAA, conference and institutional compliance matters associated with prospective and current student-athletes. The four counselors are assigned to specific sports, working with those student-athletes and coaching staffs.

At the 2002 Fall Orientation, Dr. Luckey challenged the Center's staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes.

The Center made progress in that regard in the fall with the student-athlete GPAs averaging 2.73, and with seven teams earning GPAs of 3.0 or higher.

Tiger student-athletes posted a combined 2.77 GPA during the spring of 2004. All in all, 111 studentathletes earned GPAs of 3.0 or higher in the spring of 2004. The following nine athletes earned a perfect 4.0 GPA: Stein Syversen (Men's Track), Kara Cassel (Women's Track), Lisa Marie Hyman (Women's Track), Zsofia Nagy (Women's Track), Rusty Clayton (Football), Luke Campbell (Men's Tennis), Marlene Dirnstorfer (Women's Tennis), Annika Moller (Women's Soccer) and Robyn Smart (Women's Soccer).

The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 upon the completion of the Wilder Tower. In addition to the CAAS, the Wilder Tower will house the offices of admissions, the bursar, financial aid, the registrar, student development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh floors

of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 31 student computer stations, 17 offices and several study tables.

Inspired by Dr. Luckey, two special sections of ACAD 1100, Introduction to the University, were offered to student-athletes only. The class was so well received that a third section was offered in 2003 so that all freshman student-athletes could be included in the course. Students who participated in the class earned an average of 15.2 credit hours, and an average GPA of 3.25.

Three academic programs are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top student-athletes at The U of M. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes student-athletes who earn grade point averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 student-athletes with the best grade point average on each team, and then the next best group of athletes, totaling 30 athletes. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester.

With a qualified and dedicated staff in place, and a new spacious work area dedicated entirely to all Tiger student-athletes, Dr. Luckey expects graduation rates to climb, and well-rounded student-athletes to emerge upon their graduation from The U of M. Just in the last couple of years, University of Memphis student-athletes have received some of the top league and national awards. Following the 2003-04 athletic season, senior Lisa Marie Hyman received one of the highest honors issued by Conference USA. Hyman was one of six athletes in the league who received a C-USA Postgraduate Scholarship in the amount of $4,000.

This past year, 24 student-athletes were honored by Conference USA with the Commissioner's Medal for posting a grade point average of 3.75 or higher, and the U of M also had men's track senior Gaute Myklebust named a C-USA Co-Scholar Athletes of the Year.

Memphis student-athletes also represented the school well nationally, as two student-athletes (Andy Metcalf, Heather Watts) received Academic All-America honors, while an additional four student-athletes (DeAngelo Williams, Sheila Neba, Gaute Myklebust and Marlene Dirnstorfer) earned Academic All-District honors. The men's tennis team also picked up its first-ever national award when senior Lee Taylor Walker was named the ITA/Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsmanship Award winner. The Tiger football team capped the academic award season and was one of 30 teams in the nation to be honored after graduating 70 percent of its student-athletes.

Senior jumper Lisa Marie Hyman was a 2004 Conference USA Postgraduate Award Winner for the 2004-05 season. Hyman, who is a threetime C-USA Gold Medalist in the triple jump, will complete her master's degree in the spring of 2005.

The Murphy Athletic Complex training room was redesigned and reconstructed as part of the $6 million renovation of south campus.

The new training facility, which more than doubles the size of the old training room, contains an in-ground aquatic rehabilitation pool which allows trainers to work on rehabilitating injuries without having the student-athlete to support his/or her own body weight.

Strt<H<)tti & Conditioning The Tiger Strength and Conditioning facility located next to the newly remodeled indoor turf room in the south campus' Billy J. Murphy Athletic Complex, opened in January 1993 and serves each of the University's intercollegiate sports programs.

The 7,000-square foot varsity weightroom is equipped with rugged, versatile hardware such that groups of up to 70 studentathletes can train concurrently with optimal effectiveness and efficiency.

Workouts are designed and supervised by one of the Strength and Conditioning staff's certified specialists, and each studentathlete's individual progress is projected via computerized database. The Tiger Power philosophy couples functional, multi-joint movements with fundamental principles: exercise techniques are simplified and performed on an alternating heavy/explosive basis in order to maximize training effects while minimizing teaching and training time (as well as fatique).

Performance based fitness and work quality are the bottom line objectives.

The weightroom's equipment upgrade plan reflects this philosophy and includes: 10 self-contained Olympic platforms and power racks; a plyometric/medicine ball area; a complete dumbbell line; and a variety of hip sleds, gluteham stations, cable stations and other supplemental pieces allowing student-athletes to perform an unlimited variety of exercises and movements. The modern and spacious facility is also equipped with dressing/ restrooms; is naturally illuminated; and is maintained at a constant 70-74 degrees.

In planning the long range Tiger Power programs, student-athletes are assigned to respective developmental levels based on individual ability and training history. For example, newcomers begin with an extensive volume of "foundational" or generalized movements; and progress toward more intensive and specialized exercises with each successive phase.

The actual workout menu may remain fairly constant over a student-athlete's four or five year sport career, however broad variations in workload combine the program's simplicity with a measure of sophistication.

Memphis student-athletes join "Habitat-for-Humanity" to build homes for those less fortunate (upper left) and help gather ACan-From-Every-Fan during a Tiger football game to generate food for the Salvation Army (lower left).

One of the newer programs benefiting student-athletes at the University of Memphis is the Life Skills program which is under the direction of former Tiger track athlete Trece Hayslett.

The Life Skills program assists the studentathlete in areas pertaining to social skills, resume writing and job interviews, community relations, campus life and peer pressure.

Traditions WHY TIGERS? When the University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad.

Early references to the football team, tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School.

After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, "We fight like Tigers". The nickname was born.

More and more the nickname "Tigers" was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use "Normals" or the "Blue and Gray" when referring to the University.

Under coach Lester Barnard in 1922, Normal's football team gave a ring of truth to that old student yell about Tigers. The team adopted a motto - "Every Man A Tiger" and went on to score 174 points while allowing their opponents just 29 points.

In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the "Teachers" or "Tutors". The Tiger nickname would return. But not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis.

A BENGAL FOR A MASCOT For over 30 years, the sideline mascot for the University of Memphis athletics has been the Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the name of the current mascot, puts in personal appearances at all Tiger football games, as well as numerous basketball games. TOM II has also been seen at Tiger baseball, soccer and women's basketball games.

The first tiger, purchased by the Highland Hundred (football booster group) in 1972, lived for 20 years and was housed at the Memphis Zoo. TOM died in February of 1992.

The story of how the first Tiger cub arrived in Memphis is quite interesting. On November 9, 1972, the baby tiger was placed in a dog kennel in Michigan City, IN, and flown to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

There it was placed aboard a Delta flight and arrived in Memphis at 3:00 AM. C. Cleveland Drennon, an attorney and president of the Highland Hundred, approved a check for $1,500 to buy the animal, and TOM was taken to athletic director Billy Murphy's office for a press conference.

In ceremonies at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University on November 11, 1972.

The zookeeper, at the suggestion of his daughter, called the little tiger, Shane. Once in Memphis, however, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries came in to a committee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti. The list ran from Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny, and Shiloh to

Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee.

Finally, the judges reduced the list to two: Shane and TOM, for Tigers of Memphis. TOM won.

During his first few months in Memphis, Bill Proctor housed the tiger in his garage, which was redecorated by the Highland Hundred. TOM was guarded by Proctor's hound dog.

TOM II came to the University of Memphis in the fall of 1992 and is housed at his new home at Nixon Farms in Collierville, Tenn. His new home is 3500 square feet and includes two pools, a waterfall, heated and air conditioned den box and has separately, a complete medical facility for his care and upkeep. The young tiger is nearly 500 pounds and is expected to be as large or larger than his predecessor, TOM, who was once the largest Bengal Tiger in captivity at 550 pounds. There is even a birthday party for TOM II prior to each football season.

The U of M ALMA Stand Firm, O Alma Mater Through All The Years To Come; In Days Of Youth And Beauty Thy Halls Have Been Our Home.

In Time Of Preparation Great Lessons Didst Thou Teach Till Now O Alma Mater, The Stars We'll Strive To Reach.

Lead On, O Alma Mater They Sons To Highways, Give Light And Truth Unto Them For All Their Coming Days.

To Thee We'll Give All Honor, Our Hopes Abide In Thee, For Thou, O Alma Mater, Hast Made Us Ever Free.

SCHOOL COLORS The University of Memphis' official school colors of Royal Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s.

The colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The student body thought that by picking the colors of the North and the South, the school would show a togetherness among all students.

THE LOGO The University of Memphis' official logo was redesigned by Craig Thompson, from Disciple Design in Memphis, Tenn.

The original logo was an MSU with a leaping tiger coming out from behind the letters. The new logo is an "M" with a leaping tiger coming up over the center of the "M". '
